Question 1729Navigation General
70% to passThe dividing meridian between zone descriptions -2 and -3 is _______________.
A
15°30'E
B
30°00'E
C
37°30'E
D
45°00'E
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 37°30'E. The dividing meridian between zone descriptions -2 and -3 is 37°30'E, as defined in the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Standard for Use of the World-Wide Radionavigation System (WWRNS). This standard establishes the international time zone system, where the -2 zone covers an area west of 37°30'E, and the -3 zone covers an area east of 37°30'E. The other options are incorrect because 15°30'E is the dividing meridian between zone -1 and -2, 30°00'E is not an established time zone boundary, and 45°00'E is the dividing meridian between zone -3 and -4.
